I'm quite new at this. If I can get FreeBSD to just send Internet e-mail submitted by a SMTP client I can justify its existence in our work place and buy work time for me to continue to learn. I have got my connection over a T1 line correct and it would sure appears I've got DNS Client service going: nslookup does work! FreeBSD machine's IP address 198.234.65.226 and I would like others on the same subnet to connect and send Internet e-mail with addresses user@psa2.age.state.oh.us. If I fudge a known domain name "state.oh.us" in the sender mail address I get a "no relaying" error. If I use "psa2.age.state.oh.us" I get "Sender domain not found". "psa2.age.state.oh.us" will be a DNS entry in the state of Ohio's DNS servers and point to another machine handling incoming mail. In fact, the e-mail address I provided should-- when our request is handled--convert to psa2.age.state.oh.us. I have done some research but haven't found an answer. Your handbook in entry 17.2.1 indicates this can be set up with /etc/resolv.conf. Am I on the right track? If so it doesn't say how to set up the file! Thanks in advance for any help!
